Firemen’s Prayer
When I am called to duty, God Wherever flames may rageGive me strength to save a life Whatever be its age.Let me embrace a little childBefore it is too lateOr save an older person fromThe horror of that fate.Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout,and quickly and efficiently To put the fire out.I want to fill my callingTo give the best in me,To guard my friend and neighbor And protect their property. And, if, according to your wi
llWhile on duty I must answer death's call
,
B
less, with your protecting hand,
My family
, one and all.
